Figure 13: The filtered alarm summary list
7 If you want to save this filter for future use, click the Filter button again. The Define Alarm Log
Filter window again opens, displaying the filter definition you just created.
8 Click Save and another small window opens where you can enter a name for this filter. Type a name
and click OK to save this filter.
Once you have saved your filter, you will be able to select it from the drop-down filter list in the
main Alarm Browser window.
You can create a filter that uses several conditions, but you cannot filter using multiple specifications of
the same condition. Multiple conditions are combined using a logical AND function—all conditions
must be matched for an alarm entry to be included in the filter results. For example, you can filter for
"Source IP = 10.205.1.108" and "Severity = Critical." This will display all alarms for the device with
severity levels of critical.
However, in order to find and view alarms for IP addresses 10.205.1.108 and 10.205.1.110, you must use
the Between operator to test for all Source IP addresses between these two IP addresses. You cannot
create a filter that includes separate condition specifications for Source IP = 10.205.1.108 and Source IP =
10.205.1.110.
